Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Multi-center, randomized, double-blind , placebo parallel controlled, standard therapy based phase III clinical trial, to evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human neuregulin-1 on serum NT-proBNP, as well as safety in patients with chronic heart failure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

N-terminal proNBP (NT-proBNP) has been proved to be an independent prognostic factor for the long-term prognosis of chronic heart failure patients.RhNRG-1(recombinant human neuregulin-1)directly works on the cardiomyocytes and restored the normal structure and function of it. It has been found that rhNRG-1 effectively decreased the serum level of NT-proBNP,and is tolerated in the effective dosages groups.The aim of this phase III trial is to further confirm in large population that rhRNG-1 administration can effectively decrease the serum level of NT-proBNP and is tolerated in patients with chronic heart failure.
